No. This was alleged to be taken out by Ukrainian special forces in order to twist Europe's arm, which is a good thing in the end, but so far as anyone knows it had nothing to to with the US. Until I hear anything proving otherwise I will take what we know as all we know for now.

The US were not thrilled about it when it was being constructed, obviously, but this was normal tensions towards Russia, prescient in the end but here we are.

That article has been thoroughly debunked. Seymour Hersh just made things up with no fact checking or hard evidence.

What's your counter evidence?

No counter evidence is needed because Hersh hasn't actually presented any legitimate evidence in the first place.

If 'no counter-evidence is needed' were valid, we could dismiss anything we don't like without argument.
